CBT Therapy
What is Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive-behavior therapy combines two effective types of therapy – behavior therapy and cognitive therapy.
Behavior therapy focuses on getting you active in your life again. The aim is to decrease behaviours that make the symptoms worse (e.g. staying in bed when you are not sleeping or avoiding social interactions) and increase behaviours that reduce the symptoms (e.g. getting dressed, getting exercise, staying connected with important people in your life).
Cognitive therapy helps to:
Identify patterns of thinking (cognition) or self-talk which upset you or lead to negative behaviours and
Learn ways to challenge these thoughts when they arise and replace them with more accurate and fair thoughts
